Dormant Hacker Group Exposes Military E-Mail Account Information

Published Date 3/29/12 5:00 AM

After several months of inactivity, the LulzSec hacking collective is claiming responsibility for publishing account information for almost 171,000 members of MilitarySingles.com, a dating site for members of the armed forces. LulzSec says it posted the usernames, real names, e-mail addresses, and some physical addresses of 170,937 account holders. The site’s owner is investigating but expressed skepticism about the claim. Earlier this month, the US FBI arrested individuals allegedly associated with LulzSec.
